Scrapbooking and Scraplifting

Today I wanted to share with you guys this fun layout that I shared on the rukristin blog earlier this week.

As you know I went on an epic road trip (10 states!) this Summer, which means tons of pictures to scrapbook, so you'll be seeing more layouts here on the blog.

I saw my first bear (actually, we saw three, in three different places), and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get a picture of those stinkers. This was my BEST shot. The other 2 bears we saw while driving and I didn't have my camera ready.

This layout is a scraplift inspired by a page I found on pinterestcreated by Rachel Denbow. I love using pinterest to find scrapbooking inspiration. There is so much out there.

I used a simple cream colored card stock for the base, so that all my embellishments and bright color scheme stood out without being chaotic. I also used the "Together is Best" kit by Freckled Fawn (love the colors!!) with random scraps and stickers from my own stash as well as some rukristin stamps.

I stamped the simple circle stamp from the Currently List clear stamp set on a couple of different patterned papers, then chopped them in half because I liked the look.
